Bot-free AI meeting notes — for the meetings that don’t happen in a Zoom room. No bot joining your call. No “notetaker has joined the meeting” awkwardness. Ninja Notes captures the audio, transcribes it, and turns every conversation into a clean summary with action items, decisions, and follow-ups. Built for professionals who meet anywhere — sales reps in the field, consultants on customer sites, executives between flights, and anyone whose best conversations happen outside the calendar. WHEN TO USE NINJA NOTES MOBILE • Coffee shop meetings, conference rooms, customer sites • Field sales calls and client visits • Hallway 1:1s and impromptu conversations • Travel — airports, cars, hotels • Site walks, store visits, campus tours, healthcare rounds • Anywhere a laptop isn’t open WHAT IT DOES • Records audio with your consent • Real-time AI transcription with 95%+ accuracy • Automatic summaries, action items, decisions, and follow-ups • Searchable history across every meeting you’ve recorded • Ask questions in plain English across your entire meeting history (Pro) • Share notes with your team or export them • Syncs with the Ninja Notes web and desktop apps WHY “BOT-FREE” MATTERS Most AI notetakers send a visible bot to your meeting and announce themselves to every participant. Ninja Notes records natively from your phone — no bot in the attendee list, no awkward intro, no privacy weirdness. You stay in the conversation. The AI handles the rest. A NOTE ON DESKTOP MEETINGS Mobile is purpose-built for in-room audio — coffee chats, customer sites, hallway conversations. • For Microsoft Teams meetings, use the Ninja Notes desktop app. Teams mobile restricts background audio capture, which can affect reliability. • For Zoom or Google Meet calls you’re joining from this same phone, use desktop, or use a second device for capture. • Mobile captures in-room audio, not in-app audio. WHO IT’S FOR Sales reps, consultants, customer success teams, field service, healthcare professionals, executives, students, and anyone tired of typing while trying to listen. PRICING Subscription plans available - see in the app. PRIVACY & RECORDING CONSENT Ninja Notes only records when you start a session. Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data, and we only train on your voice — never on the voices of other meeting participants. You are responsible for complying with applicable recording laws and for obtaining consent from participants where required. Some jurisdictions, including “all-party consent” (two-party consent) U.S. states, require every participant in a conversation to consent before being recorded. Always disclose recording when required by law or by your organization’s policies.

Just Transcribe turns your voice into text, entirely on your iPhone and iPad. No cloud. No account. No tracking. Your recordings never leave your device, because there is nowhere else for them to go. Most transcription apps quietly ship your audio off to a server. This one does not. The AI lives on your phone, so the moment you stop recording, the only copy in the world is already in your pocket. WHAT IT DOES Record live or import a file, pick how clever you want the AI to be, and read your words back as text. Follow along as it plays, fix the odd slip, see who said what, and boil an hour of talk down to the point. One job, done well, minding its own business. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Transcription, speaker recognition, voice memory and summaries all run on-device. Nothing is uploaded. • No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no third parties. • It goes online exactly once, to download a model. After that, nothing. • Delete any recording, transcript, voice or model whenever you like. Gone is gone. REMEMBERS WHO'S TALKING It tells speakers apart and labels every line, so an hour of meeting reads like a chat. Save someone's voice once, by reading a single sentence aloud, and the app names that person automatically in everything after. Voiceprints are learned on your device and never leave your phone. BOILED DOWN TO THE POINT A built-in AI reads your transcript and hands back the gist: a tidy summary, the bullet points, the decisions and the to-dos. On your phone like everything else, so not a word goes to the cloud. TEN ENGINES, ONE TAP APART Nine Whisper models plus NVIDIA's Parakeet v3, downloaded once and kept on your device: • Tiny, blink and it is done. Just do not be shocked when "good morning" comes out as "banana". • Base, the sensible one. Reliable, unremarkable, the Toyota Corolla of transcription. • Large v3 Turbo, the finest there is. Your phone whispers a quiet prayer, then absolutely delivers. ...plus Small, the English-only Distil pair and the rest of the Large line. SMARTER BY THE WORD Long recordings split on natural pauses, not blind 30-second blocks: fewer errors, fewer invented words, often faster. Tell it how many people were talking and speaker detection sharpens right up. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE Fifty languages, from Dutch and English to Arabic, Hindi and Chinese. Leave it on Automatic, or pin it for the sharpest result. The app itself now speaks Dutch, German and Spanish too. FOLLOW ALONG AS IT PLAYS Press play and the words light up in sync. Tap any line to jump to that moment. Fix a name, tidy the punctuation, find and replace across the whole transcript in one go. IN THE CAR, ON YOUR WRIST • CarPlay: start a recording from your car's screen, hands on the wheel. It is waiting on your iPhone when you stop. • Apple Watch: record from your wrist or its widget, then transcribe on the bigger screen. STAYS ORGANISED Import wav, mp3, m4a, aiff and more. Group into folders. Search by title or by the words inside any transcript. Copy, share, or export as SRT or VTT subtitles, PDF or plain text, speaker labels and all. FREE TO START, ONE HONEST PRICE Download it for nothing and start transcribing. Tiny and Base, all fifty languages, folders, search, the lot. Free for good, not a trial. When you want the sharp end of it, that is Pro: every bigger model, follow along, speaker recognition with voice memory, on-device summaries, audio enhancement, editing, subtitle and PDF export, CarPlay and Apple Watch. One payment, the once. No subscription. No ads. No account. Made by one person in the Netherlands, for anyone who reckons their voice should stay theirs. Just Transcribe. Yes, the period is part of the name.
